“Naked” for Nuclear

November 25, 2007 - 8:30 AM by

Back in the day when I was living in San Fran, I noticed that people liked to get naked. Especially activists. Protest? Take off your clothes. Expose it in public. A sort of: “show ‘em what you got” proving ground for illustrating serious intention surrounding the cause.

I don’t get it. But then the last protest I actively attended was a “Free the Soviet Jews” rally in downtown Cincinnati at the tender age of 8; Our private day school bussed us there to beef up attendance. It was winter, we were in grammar school and so no, we didn’t dis-robe.

This week, a group of anti-nuke Greenpeace activists took conference attendees by surprise when they barged into a Tel Aviv University lecture hall where President Shimon Peres was addressing “the nuclear issue”. They were promptly removed by security. But not before Peres apparently joked about turning down the a/c.

This Ynet story gives the scoop and Aussie Dave poses…

…why is it that these “anti-war” protesters always feel the need to take off their clothes? Do they believe that showing us their untoned, flabby bodies will somehow scare us into agreement?

Those women are just lucky Moshe Katsav is not still President.

Yee-OW!

    2. Protestors from Mexico to Minsk often take off their clothes , just to get noticed (It sure worked in your case) It’s a classic symbolic way to get their grievances (and everything else) off their chests
